Mizzou Football's position battles are nearing a turning point.

On Friday, the Tigers completed their final practice before Saturday's closed scrimmage, which will help coaches decide who are the frontrunners to earn starting spots this season. After that scrimmage, head coach Eli Drinkwitz is scheduled to address the media about his takeaways from week two of fall camp.
